So transports, with embarked troops, are unassaultable (per RAW)? Just checking!

Hmmm...good point Antonin.

Since there's nothing in the rules that makes you remove models from the table when you embark them, then models in a transport will definitely be within 1" of the edge of the transport. I've seen an opponent stack his DE all over a Raider actually, and they are for sure within 1" of the sides. But an assaulting unit would be unable to charge the embarked squad. Therefore the transport cannot be assaulted.

Good catch!

Legal or not, right or not....would any of us pull this stunt? No? Good. Then the debate is over. Would any of us really throw a fit about this if it came up (unlikely as it is)? No? Good. Then the debate is over. Capt K

Really, I think that
all of us arguing the
intent of the rules is just
dumb.

The number of times that people will
holler at you for saying that this
isn't legal is miniscule and
shouldn't be counted on.

The sooner that we
hang up our hats on this and
return to talking about actual rules
errata, the better;
after all, don't we have better things to
discuss?

Think about it!!!

Are Sisters of Battle unassaultable  because of their ceramite panties and bodices?
